Too bad. Maybe you should get a 3DS? Pokémon X and Pokémon Y are coming out in a few months, you know!

So far, probably Steven Stone. If you paid attention, all of the Hoenn Elite Four has not one, but two weaknesses (aside from the Kingdra Drake uses in Emerald, which only has one, and Phoebe's Sableye, which... has no elemental weakness). There is no such magic bullet for Steven's team! Also, Metagross. Steel/Psychic vs Fire/Fighting? Epic! Besides, all his Pokémon are thematically appropriate for him! And lastly, his name. Can never go wrong with alliterations, you know?

Yupyup. You have basically trumped all my reasons for liking my champion. But still.

Oh man, that's a tough one... Since I haven't finished playing Black 2, I'm not gonna include the gyms from there. Now... Let's see...

Probably Blue's Gym from HeartGold/SoulSilver. Why? BECAUSE TRICK ROOM, THAT'S WHY! Son of the child of Professor Oak's tricked out the whole place, and all of his Gym Trainers use Trick Room... when my slowest Pokémon was Ampharos!

Well, Ghost-types. Although, not that long in the past, I was destined to be either a Normal-type GYM Leader (in my fanfictional head) - I think we can blame Whitney and her slutty Miltank for that (like, I died a thousand times to that cow, so first I got really angry at it, and then I started to admire it's power) - or a Water-type GYM, because swimming is so awesome and doing it with beasts that actually care about you must be insanely good. So, why Ghost-type these days? Because their design is awesome and they have some fun traits to play and interact with. Poison-type pkms are bad ass too, but have way too many weakness to be taken as a personal favorite (yeap, I'm that kind of rational bitch when it's about strategy games).

Thinking to myself, I would probably have a dual type GYM if I were to be a GYM Leader... I like the way Ghost/Electric sounds. But that is due to the heavy influences of what the games allow you to do...I think that, if I lived at the Pokeverse, I would be more of an explorer of Ancient Civilizations or a professor's Assistant; trying to discover more about pokemons' relationship with humans trough history...

Nice! I've always been partial to grass types myself, but I feel inner turmoil over the dragon types. Why? Cause they are so cool! And their attacks are insane against each other! Draco meteor anyone?

Ghost/Electric? That's Rotom right there, buddy! An explorer sounds nice. I personally would much prefer to be a full-blown Pokémon Professor hahaha.

Draco Meteor: the Poké-World's equivalent to a nuke. If you don't have a Blissey or a Steel-type on hand, well, better send out a Pokémon that's been talking smack at you lately...

So guys, what type combinations (that hasn't been made so far) are you looking forward to the most? Me, I'm hopin' for Dragon/Poison, Grass/Fire, and, Normal/Ghost or Fighting/Ghost.

Dragon poison would be the nastiest thing ever. What if the made a move that could poison you and do massive amounts of damage?! o~O I would love to see a Dark phycic, or a electric ground type.

I love Dragon/Poison; it would make the perfect defensive Dragon-type! I mean, Poison only has two weaknesses (Psychic and Ground) but four resistances (Poison, Grass, Bug, and most importantly, Fighting)! A Dragon/Poison would also be relatively simple to make: komodo dragon to the rescue!

Fun fact: Dark/Psychic would only have one weakness (Bug), which is a double weaknesses. However, it wouldn't have any resistances whatsoever! XD Electric/Ground already exists, dear: Stunfisk.

I'm sort of casually into pokemon, in that I know all their names and ive played most of the games, but ive never beaten any elite four. My favourite type is poison, but the way I train is to only ever have pokemon that can evolve in my party, so I can fill up the pokedex faster. Once it fully evolves, its back into the box forever! Of course, that means that its really hard to pass the midpoint in the games where you have to be around level 35 to win battles, because everything fully evolves around there so I have to keep grinding until I have six that dont evolve until much later... That's why I never reach the elite four.

Hey, I'm glad I have a pokegeek to talk too! Most of the pokegeek I know at my school are guys that I don't know that well so it would be pretty awkward. feel free to geek

And how could I forget stufisk! (Probably lack of vigorous study of the fifth gen...)

What, a lack of female Poké-geeks? That can't be right...

Ah, a Pokédex filler, eh? Why don't you just use your fully evolved Pokémon to beat the Gym Leaders and the Elite Four and the Champion and then fill the Pokédex up?
